Abstract
A 67-year-old man tested positive for fecal occult blood during a medical checkup. Colonoscopy revealed 2 circular narrowing sections and ulcers in the ascending colon. Subsequently, intestinal tuberculosis was suspected, and a biopsy revealed a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent laparoscopic right colectomy. Pathological findings revealed adenocarcinoma, caseous granuloma, and acid-fast bacteria in the lesions. Therefore, we report a case of ascending colon cancer with intestinal tuberculosis.
